If we know the symbol, let's say Rn, we may then open any periodic table and search for Radon. Any decent periodic table should have the group numbers when you scroll up starting from the element you found.
In the case of Radon the group number is 18. There is a lot of cool stuff about Radon that people simply don't know. Why not stick around for a bit?
